Lunacy Shared
Kory Diffoten thought his senior year of high school couldn’t get any stranger after suffering the most bizarre freak-accident Hushmore High School ever saw. Yet, upon returning to school, he soon realizes his worst nightmares are just getting started. Not only is the unusual new gym teacher still on his case about a potentially stolen piece of jewelry connected to his new best friends, Jakil Dunston and Ronda Smith, but Kory also finds himself dealing with unsettling symptoms that he’s pretty sure have nothing to do with typical adolescence. That’s not to say teenaged drama isn’t a problem as well—he has no idea how to sort out his feelings toward Ronda, especially since he’s caught in the middle between her and Jakil.
Hence, nothing can be more inconvenient than the news that his crazy Aunt Rudy is coming to town for the pre-holiday season. As if life hadn’t already grown complicated enough, his aunt’s presence forces him to realize he has more in common with her than he could have ever imagined—or feared.
Shocking discoveries await Kory, and he is astonished to learn that a lot of the answers to his present and future lie far in the past. And it’s only a matter of time before the past repeats itself…
“Lunacy Shared” is the second installation of the Lunacy series.

As someone who very much enjoyed Book 1 in the Lunacy series, I must say I was very excited to get to read the second book. I remember the easygoing edge in book one and how much I liked Kory, the main character, and the way his quirky personality helped set the foundation for such an outgoing series.
Nothing about Kory and nothing about the creativity in this series has changed so far. You still have a nerdy yet entertaining teen struggling with his family history and his high school crush. Only this time, things have gotten a bit more complicated.
I enjoyed diving deeper into Kory’s ancestry because its incredibly important to the series, but it also provides a little more insight into Kory as our protagonist. Not every question you had from Book 1 will get answered but I expect a book 3 that will undoubtedly be just as fulfilling and entertaining as parts 1 and 2. In my review of the first book, I said that the book was short but had A LOT of things going on. I didn’t feel that way in reading Book 2. I liked the pacing and I had a good understanding of the plot and what was happening next.
Edwards is definitely a good author and I recommend her writing to anyone. This book is not your average YA read so don’t pick it up if you’re not interested in something 100% unique and original. I loved the diverse and minority characters and I loved the discoveries that were waiting to be uncovered. I expect to see much more from this author in the future and I know I won’t be disappointed.
If you enjoy YA fiction with an awkward and unique protagonist, then this series is for you. If you like high school drama with a supernatural twist, then I urge you to get a copy of any book from the Lunacy series. Please enjoy!

Wow! Lunacy Shared (Book #2) has more intensity that seizes my attention from the beginning of the story which continues from Kory being pushed out from the sixth floor of a building.
Miraculously, Kory survived. However, he experienced some very unusual changes which had transformed him to a different person. He dreamed about his Aunt Rudy a lot during his stay in the hospital, and through her, he learned about the history of his ancestors that is the climax of story; as well as the important play of the necklace. Hence, Kory and Aunt Rudy had developed a better understanding and relationship between them.
T.D. Edwards is a creative author who knows how to spin attention-grabbing twists and turns into her novels. I can’t get enough of the suspense and mystery of this Lunacy series and am so looking forward to book #3. I strongly recommend this series to anyone who enjoys good-reads. Lunacy's Core (Book #1) is already in the market and don't forget to grab a copy of Lunacy Shared (Book #2) this coming September 2017!

A great sequel
Having read the first book, "Lunacy's Core", I was excited to read the sequel. I think that the second book could be read as a standalone, but when you can read the first one first, do it. Some things make sense that help with this story. A circle of friends with a lot of drama, and references to the past. The past haunts and can affect the future, but what's going on in the present is also something to contend with. Edwards writes a great story and its worth the read

Definitely not your run of the mill YA read. The characters are interesting and unlike most I've encountered recently, while the plot is fairly complex and had me reading more slowly and carefully than with most books.
